Answer:

x = 2 , x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the expression equate it to zero

x² - 6x + 8 = 0 ( subtract 8 from both sides )

x² - 6x = - 8

To complete the square

add ( half the coefficient of the x- term)² to both sides

x² + 2(- 3)x + 9 = - 8 + 9

(x - 3)² = 1 ( take square root of both sides )

x - 3 = ± \sqrt{1} = ± 1 ( add 3 to both sides )

x = 3 ± 1

Then

x = 3 - 1 = 2 or x = 3 + 1 = 4

Answer:

(x−2)(x−4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's factor x2−6x+8

x2−6x+8

The middle number is -6 and the last number is 8.

Factoring means we want something like

(x+_)(x+_)

Which numbers go in the blanks?

We need two numbers that...

Add together to get -6

Multiply together to get 8

Can you think of the two numbers?

Try -2 and -4:

-2+-4 = -6

-2*-4 = 8

Fill in the blanks in

(x+_)(x+_)

with -2 and -4 to get...

(x-2)(x-4)

Hope this helps! Also, if it's no trouble, can I have brainliest? Thanks! :D

What is the area of the circle?
dmitriy555 [2]

We know that the area of a circle has the formula A=πr²

We are given the diameter, and as we know that the diameter is twice the radius, we can divide the given diameter by 2.

27 ÷ 2= 13.5

Now, plug-in the number into the formula.

A=πr²

A=π×13.5²

A=π×182.25

(Assume π=3.14)

A=3.14 × 182.25

A=572.265

A=572.3 square meters.

Therefore, the area of the circle is 572.3 square meters.

Company A-> charges $75 and unlimited millage.

Company B-> initial fee $55 and charges +$0.8 for every mile driven.

The inequality that represents for what millage will company A charges less than company B is:

Let m be the number of miles

[tex]\begin{gathered} 75<55+0.8m \\ 75-55<0.8m \\ 20<0.8m \\ \frac{20}{0.8}For 25 miles company A will charge less than company B.

The answer is B) 1/3.

There are 6 faces on a rectangular prism, each of which is a rectangle.  

The area of the front and back is given by 25(8) = 200 sq. cm.
The area of the bottom and top is given by 25(4) = 100 sq. cm.
The area of the right and left is given by 4(8) = 32.

There are 2 faces out of 6 with an area that is not a multiple of 100; 2/6 = 1/3.
